July 6, 2025 2:44 PM : Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Analysis: Taylor was on the bench Thursday after sustaining a left trap contusion a night earlier, but he returned to the lineup for the White Sox's first two games in Colorado, starting in left field and going 3-for-8 with a home run, a double and four RBI. Though the absence of Luis Robert (hamstring) leaves an everyday role available in the outfield, Taylor may have to share playing time in center with Brooks Baldwin, who will remain in the starting nine for a fourth straight contest.
